George please keep these videos going. You are without a doubt the foremost authority when it comes to vintage guitars

I just came across this video. I have a story to tell you. Recently, I have been thinking I would like to learn how to play guitar. Well, I knew my grandfather played guitar, and before he passed away, he gave one of his guitars to my mom. My grandfather grew up in Montgomery, Alabama. One of his best friends growing up was Hank Williams Senior. One of his aunts gave him a guitar when he was about 12 years old or so. They guitar they gave him was that exact guitar you are playing. I have been sitting here trying to figure out what year it is, and now I am pretty sure it is a 1933 based on what I am seeing. It is the black version with the white pickguard. It is sitting right next to me as I type this. When my grandfather was growing up he had his own band, and Hank had his own band as well. They would travel around playing county fairs and different things like that, and more times than not, my grandfathers band would beat Hank's band and win those competitions. At one point Hank asked my grandfather if he could join his band. When my grandfather ended up meeting the girl that would eventually become my grandmother, he stepped away from the band because he did not think that a married man with kids should be traveling around constantly, away from his family. Hank went on to become famous. I think I am going to teach myself how to play on this Gibson.

Thank you for the wonderful history lesson, love the small bodied Gibby's.

waoooo! saunds amazing

Love George's playing

I can't remember WHERE I read or saw the following info, but it may pertain to this run of guitars. What I remember learning is that Gibson was once commissioned to run a special lot of L-00's for Montgomery Ward (or some other specific retailer) which were marketed by the retailer as a"cowboy" type guitar, or something of that nature. So I am now thinking that this peculiar L-00 may be part of a lot that that was commissioned by a retailor.

Mr. Natural actually plays the piece in possession.

Old time country picking. For those that don't know the history of guitar picking

nice

My theory: The HG-20 and 22 were a commercial flop and were discontinued in 1933. Gibson still had some of the tops and sides left and put them to use for L-00s.

Great video - Maybe the one with the white pick guard is a Japanese copy?

What's the prices on these Guitars?

Looks like a mini J-35...

lottle less talk more strumming

You're betraying your German roots with your socks-and-sandals schtick, George.....
